Their messengers came to him in Khaybar (or on the way, or perhaps after he had arrived in Medina), and he accepted their terms. Fadak became the property of the Messenger of God exclusively, because no horses or camels had been spurred against it.}}

Ishaq--Ya'qub b. 'Utbah b. al-Mughirah b. al-Akhnas b. Shariq al-Thaqafi: 'Amr b. Umayyah, brother of the Banu 'Ilaj, had shunned 'Abd Yalil b. 'Amr, and there was ill feeling between the two. 'Amr b. Umayyah was one of the most cunning of the Arabs. He ambled over to 'Abd Yalil b. 'Amr and entered his dwelling place . He then sent word to him that 'Amr b. Umayyah said, "Come out to me." 'Abd Yalil said to the messenger: "Woe to you! Has 'Amr sent you?" The messenger replied: "Indeed, he is standing here in your dwelling place." 'Abd Yalil then retorted, "I would not have thought that of 'Amr. He knows how to protect himself better than that." [So he came out], and when he saw 'Amr he welcomed him. 'Amr said: "We have been dealt a situation from which there is no escape (hijrah) Indeed, you have seen what has transpired as regards this man [i.e., the Messenger of God). All the Arabs have embraced Islam and you do not have the strength to make war against them, so consider your situation ." Thereupon, Thaqif deliberated among themselves, some saying to one another, "Don't you see that your herd is not safe, and none of you can dare go out without being cut off [from the town]." They deliberated [further] and decided to send a man to the Prophet as they had [previously] sent 'Urwah. They spoke to 'Abd Yalil b. `Amr b. 'Umayr, who was of the same age as 'Urwah b. Masud, but he declined to undertake the task. Fearing that he would be dealt with as was 'Urwah on his return, he said, "I am not doing anything until you send someone with me ." Thus they agreed to send two men from the Ahlaf and three from the Banu Malik. There were six [all told]: 'Uthman b. Abi al-'Ag b. Bishr b. 'Abd Duhman, brother of the Banu Yasar; Aws b. 'Awf, brother of the Banii Salim [b. 'Awf], Numayr b. Kharashah b. Rabi 'ah, brother of  Balharith; and from the Ahlaf, al-Hakam b. 'Amr b. Wahb b. Mu'attib and Shurahbil b. Ghaylan b. Salimah b. Mu'attib. 'Abd Yalil then departed with them as leader of his folk and in charge of their affairs. He took them [i.e., the other five] with him because he feared he would be dealt with as was 'Urwah b . Mas'ud, and he hoped that each man among them would keep his [own] clan occupied on their return to al-Ta'if.}}

Muhammad alAnsari--'Asim b. 'Umar b. Qatadah, who said: He carried arms, helmets, and spears and led a hundred horses. He appointed Bashir b. Sa'd to be in charge of the weapons, and Muhammad b. Maslamah to be in charge of the horses. When Quraysh received word of this, it frightened them. They sent Mikraz b. Hafs b. al-Akhyaf, who met him at Marr al-Zahran. [The Messenger of God] said to him: "Young or old, I have never been known but for keeping a promise. I do not want to bring in weapons against them, but the weapons will be close to me." Mikraz returned to Quraysh and informed them.}}
